(Case 05: Holy Shit, Batman, It's a Black Hole)

[ Yako flickers onto the network - the connection at the moment seems to be unstable, like it's half on, or half off, and unsure which to wholey be. The "announcement" has left her visibly shaken, and if a person is particularly keen with their eyes, it may look like she's been crying. Yako is currently unaware of the spere, much like she seems

Why anybody? It doesn't matter. It's all unbelievable, from the start. [ a small laugh, broken off with a hiccup that Yako looks embarrassed by. ] The robots are gone, at least.

[katsuragi_yako]

If it's a bad dream, we'll just have to wake up!

[ have a very small smile; it's an effort to start working against how she wants to feel for right now. ]

It is! And... there's a Christmas tree! That's a plus.

Are you scared?

[katsuragi_yako]

Yes.

[ though she visibly steels herself and looks at Yazoo for a moment; ]

I can deal with scared. Are you not?

[distantallure]

It's not like you can avoid it. [In truth, he would fight should the opportunity present itself-- but if an inevitable death is coming, he also sees it as an opportunity.]

[katsuragi_yako]

No, it isn't.

[ Ahh, an opportunity for what? Then again, Yazoo's priorities are his own. ]

Will you waste your last minutes cowering when the answer could be only seconds from your comprehension?

[He's wearing that look I suppose you can attribute to disappointment of sorts.] I would have expected more from you, Yako, but it seems you truly are lower than a flea.

[ She doesn't look up at first, but when she does, she looks more angry than sad. ]

I'm allowed to be scared, Neuro. I can't even - [ and she shuts off the sphere for now, because she doesn't want to go there, and she knows an outburst wouldn't make sense to him anyway.

It was the people, everyone here, and she couldn't make them feel better, couldn't make it better - yet, if ever - and for a moment, that was the most frightening, depressing, distasteful thing in the world. ]

[ admire you longtime, demon, but has to go wrestle some of her own now. D= ]

[smiles encouragingly at her, his voice soft] Miss Yako, it's all right. Take a breath, nice and deep.

[katsuragi_yako]

[ the sphere flickers on and off again, and Yako looks to be taking the Doctor's advice. She takes nice, deep breaths, and offers what's a grim smile, then a more sincere one. ]

I know. Sorry. I didn't... [ know the sphere wasn't off. ]

[bit_impossible]

[knows that look all too well and continues to give her an encouraging smile]

Don't have to apologise! Not to me. Are you feeling a bit better?

[katsuragi_yako]

Yes. [ she swallows. ] I am.
